onCreate(Bundle State)
{
    TextView label = new TextView(this);
    lable.setText("My new Label");
}

I read that the TextView has a reference to the Activity.

    From practical point of view it means you are not advised to keep your TextView in a static variable somewhere because that way you will be keeping the whole Activity with it.
